Dr. Carr's Word Forage celebrates the playful nature of the poetic mind and the surprise of language gone strange, big and full of unexpected association.

In 30 minutes or less, Dr. Carr's Word Forage guides players through three phases of writing a poem: rough draft, workshop, and revision.

Inspired by the 1920’s Surrealist parlor game Exquisite Corpse, Dr. Carr’s Word Forage combines elements of unpredictability, chance, unseen intention and group collaboration to help players make the kind of associative leaps poets make when thinking lyrically.

Through Dr. Carr’s Word Forage, collaborators learn to express themselves in astonishing ways, practice flexible thought, say things they didn’t know they wanted to say about themselves and the world around them, unleash the creative potential we all have as humans, and, ultimately, get closer to their own wildness in the physical environment that is language.
